The Flylow Lab Coat 2.0 is purpose built for sidecountry, backcountry and powder skiers. For high-exertion activities, nothing beats Polartec Neoshell, which is an ultra-breathable PU membrane that simply works. The Lab Coat 2.0 features an updated fit and construction, making it 15% lighter and more packable; perfect for touring. Flylow completes the 2.0 with huge under arm vents, a ton of pockets, a powder skirt and primo YKK zippers. As comfortable on the skin track as it is on a tits-deep inbounds day, think Flylow Lab Coat 2.0 for your next multi-purpose ski jacket.

Face Fabric

Polartec® NeoShell - 100% Nylon

DWR (Durable Water Repellent) - All of Flylow's exterior shells and mid layers are treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) coating, which stops precipitation from soaking into the fibers of a jacket's face fabric, aiding in quick fabric dry times and helping you stay dry and warm in storms. Flylow specifies that all of their technical garments will retain 80% repellency after 20 washes.

Membrane

Polartec® NeoShell - Neoshell is the most breathable and waterproof temperature-regulating three-layer fabric available. Using ultra thin stretched polyurethane, Neoshell is an air permeable waterproof membrane. Polartec allows Flylow to select the appropriate face fabric for their needs, so they can make this ultra technical membrane as tough as they require.

Fit

Freeride Fit - Not too baggy and not too tight. Just right to give you great range of motion while not sacrificing weight or performance.

Articulated Shoulders and Sleeves - Keeps your sleeves from pulling up on a reaching move and excess material to a minimum.

Pockets

7 Pockets (3 internal, 4 external)

Internal and External Pockets - These are always placed in the optimal position for your goodies.

Media Player Compatible - Hook up headphones to your phone using a smaller finished hole accessed through one of the chest pockets of your jacket.

Vents

14" Under Arm Vents - Under arm vents are key to regulating temperature no matter what the activity. Flylow makes pit zips long and out of the way for effective use and comfort.

Additional Features

Helmet Compatible Hood - All jackets come with a 16" tall hood so you can ski with your hood on.

YKK Zippers - Waterproof, coil and big tooth zippers are used based on each design.

Fully Seam Taped - Garments are only considered waterproof if taped. Flylow over builds their gear and outfit their seam-taped gear with 20-millimeter tape that exceeds the industry standards.

Powder Skirt - Keep the powder and cold gusts out of your jacket to keep you on the hill longer. These are always removable, attachable to the accompanying pant with snaps, and are always equipped with a 2-inch lycra strip and grip tape to keep them in the right position.

No Bulk Cuffs - Allow for minimal fabric bunching when cuffs are cinched.

This is the traditional, not too tight, not too baggy fit. Jackets and pants have room for layering without being very baggy when not wearing many layers. It has standard inseams with straight legs on pants.

I used the Lab Coat for skiing both at the resort and in the backcountry. I found the Polartec Neo Shell to be pretty darn lightweight, and extremely waterproof. I found this jacket to be dialed, I was never left wanting for anything. I really liked the removable powder skirt because I never use it and am generally wearing a pack. It would also seem that Flylow is dialing in their fit, and at 6'0", a large fit me perfectly lengthwise and in the sleeves. Plus, I know the Flylow guys and they are down to earth skiers, making great outerwear at reasonable prices.

I helped design this coat, so I may be slightly biased. However let me just say that the construction of this coat is top notch, on par with all the top brands of outerwear. What makes this coat special are two things: 1. Design: we made this coat fit a bit longer then traditional mountaineering coats for extra protection and made it perfect for all types of skiing or any outdoor activity. 2. Neoshell Fabric... waterproof is easy, a plastic bag is waterproof, but breathable is where science helps. This fabric is 2 X more breathable then any Gore Tex product, so on wet days you will not overheat creating moisture inside your jacket. And on cold days you will will stay plenty warm as you again will be dry from the inside out.
